Looking for 30 Minute Roast Chicken

[pchefdonna]

I am looking for a 30 minute roast chicken recipe that was mentioned at a meeting. It was served with a 7 minute mashed potatoes. Does anyone have a recipe for this, or know where I could find it. I appreciate the help! Donna

I searched the files and found this:
I took an approximately 4-5 pound whole chicken, washed it and sprinkled salt, pepper and a lot of our Peppercorn & Garlic rub all over the chicken, inside and out. Then I covered it and popped it in the microwave for 30 minutes, and oh my, it was better than any I have ever made! Ok, I might be a little bias with Pampered Chef, but I really think it was better than ever. It was so juicy and tender, it's incredible. You must try it!!

***WARNING*** Microwave ovens vary in power, so be sure to use your meat thermometer to make sure it is done after 30 minutes.

Has anyone actually made this? I think I would be scared to cook a chicken in the microwave...but that is just me...I am weird like that.

Does it brown?? I cannot imagine doing this in the microwave either.....but I am intrigued & will try anything (well, ALMOST anything) once!

I seem to remember hearing someplace (don't remember where) that if you use a roasting chicken that's on the small side and cook it on the stoneware fluted pan, you can get it done in 30. Clean the bird and rub with a little oil, salt and seasoning (I love our rosemary on chicken). Then set it on the post in the middle of the fluted pan so that the post goes into the cavity - like a vertical roaster. Place in a 400-degree oven (yes, that's higher than usual). The post up the center of the bird will transfer heat into the meat from that direction, helping it cook a little faster.

My memory is a little fuzzy on this, so you may want to try it at home first. And obviously, check the internal temp to determine doneness.
